I agree with you.
A 10 day waiting period for ABORTIONS is a sensible idea what should be promoted.
It is no way violates anyone's rights and might prevent acts of senseless violence.
As most Americans believe in sensible abortion laws then I can see no problem with promoting this.
I am sure that Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein will get behind your proposed legislation with fervour.

If we wait another week, maybe it will be back to business as usual and we can focus on more important things that don't get splashed across the front pages by the leftist liberal media lapdogs. Unless someone has a workable proposal to limit access to firearms by someone who has NEVER done anything wrong, yet may become dangerous, we're not listening. Similarly, we don't generally lock up people without a trial in an actual court, so it should be for anyone being deprived of their individual rights. "Where is the due process?"

I am a gun nut and I don't mind the waiting period. I doubt it does much good since virtually no legally purchased firearms are used in the commission of a crime (a few thousand murders a year versus 200 million privately owned firearms), but it's not a big deal.

I don't really want a waiting period to discuss guns after a shooting, but I do want people to stop and think, not make far reaching laws based on emotion and media sensationalism.

Lots of propositions based on those things would not really help. For example, restoring the federal assault weapons ban -- the manufacturers would just modify the guns cosmetically so the ban would not apply... The same thing they did before. Others propose a ban on the AR-15... Well that would only apply to new sales, doing nothing about the ones already out there and shooters would just switch to the next most popular sporting rifle.

There are always unintended consequences to these things. There is no single, easy or quick answer.

The day I bought my first gun, I was shocked how easy it was, didn't even have to know how to use the thing just walked in and bought one (though I chose to take a class). As a responsible gun owner I would have no problem if it wasn't quite so easy.
